We all know that mangoes are incredibly versatile as desserts. Its natural sweet flavor makes for a perfect topping, added tidbits, and it’s even good eaten on its own. But if you think you’ve seen all the possibilities this delicious fruit has to offer, local soft serve and mango connoisseur Go Mango begs to differ.  

As the summer comes to a close, the coming days are about to get cooler with their new products: introducing, the Mango Milk with Brown Sugar Boba, Mango Cheesecake, and Mango Chocnut Cream.



The Mango Milk with Brown Sugar Boba is their unique take on the milktea craze, and quite possibly, your new favorite drink! Think fresh, sweet, and irresistably lip-smacking mangoes served with a thick froth of full cream milk, deliciouly complemented by warm boba soaked in muscovado sugar to bring out its natural, toasted sugar flavour that we simply can’t get enough. Give it a little shake and all of the flavors and elements mix together in one delicious, refreshing cup. Trust us, it’s definitely a must-try! 


For the dessert lovers, the Mango Cheesecake is heavenly. Go Mango’s signature soft serve ice cream is topped with heaps of grated cheese and fresh mangoes, served in between oven-baked cheesecake crust with cream, making it two mouth-watering desserts in one decadent cup.



Last but definitely not the least, the Mango Chocnut Cream is an ode to our childhood favorite. This delightful treat is made up of layers of fresh mango slices, soft serve ice cream, and of course, the nutty goodness of Chocnut. 

And because Go Mango is all about that premium dessert experience, they also have sundaes, shakes, and mango milk beverages. Among the best-sellers are the Mango Graham Sundae and the Mango Yakult Shake. They have more delicious offerings launching soon, so stay tuned!


Go Mango will also be opening two new branches in SM Manila this June and Century City Mall on July. For more details on the menu and branches, visit www.facebook.com/gomangoph.

Farron Cafe
Farron Cafe helps revive the glory days of Philippine Coffee by using the country's prime coffee produce. It is their hope to promote the great local product and spread the love in every cup. Another unique thing about Farron Cafe is their advocacy to employ out-of-school youths to their team. This is truly the secret to their success: the love they have for each other, for delicious coffee, for their crew, and of course, for coffee lovers! Come and fall in love with Farron Cafe! Here are the three menus showed in the photo: Frosty Frappe in Minty Choco, Crème Brulee and Strawberries and Cream.



Orange Tea
Orange Tea is Taiwan’s No 1 Milk Tea that invades the Philippines in able for us to enjoyed, fresh brewed tea, fruit tea and their fantastic milk tea. They are originated in Taiwan in 2003 that has around 50 shops all over the country based on articles we had read. We were served around 10 different variants of fruit and mik teas. We highly recommend for you to try their Wintermelon Milktea that cost around P90 and Passio Fruit QQ that cost around P65.


Primiera Burgers and Milkshakes
Primiera Burgers and Milkshakes in SM Sucat is their first branch to offer a wide array of interesting menus that is also Instagraworthy. We were serve Ultimate Burger Bucket, Spicy Shrimp Pasta, Matcha Milkshake, Dark Brownies Milkshake and Fusion Delight. Ultimate Burger Bucket cost around P800 consisting of 4 bacon cheeseburgers, 2 onion rings and 2 ice teas. We totally love this burget bucket and this will be our top favorite for this store. Next are the 3 Milkshakes that cost around P170. To be honest we are not satisfied on the Matcha Milkshake because it didn’t taste like Matcha. We only notice that it tastes like a milk.

French Baker
The French Baker has built its success out of its Founder and President Johnlu G. Koa’s vision for innovation: to take the idea of the neighborhood bakery to the next level, allowing every Filipino to enjoy freshly-baked, high-quality, and affordable breads. We have tried a lot of breads and coffees on their store but here are some menus we will recommend: Blueberry Danish, Pain Au Chocolat, Butter Croissant, Ham & Cheese Croissant, Pork Floss Bun, Iced Caramel Latte and Ice White Chocolate Latte.


Dairy Queen
There are few brands as iconic as the DQ® brand. The first Dairy Queen location opened in Joliet, Ill. in 1940. Since then, the innovative DQ food and treats along with the unique DQ restaurant concepts, have positioned International Dairy Queen as a leader in the quick-service restaurant industry both in the U.S. as well as internationally. Today, the DQ system is a $4.5 billion brand. The Dairy Queen system offers a variety of treats and products including burgers, chicken strips, chicken sandwiches, artisan sandwiches and the famous DQ soft-serve that is part of a variety of unique treats only found at Dairy Queen restaurants. We recommend for you to try their Oreo Mudpie, Cheesecake Frappes or maybe we can say all their Frappes and ofcourse the famous Blizzard Treats.


Chiara’s Pastry
Driven by passion and desire to put up an Italian cuisine in the Philippines’ setting, Chiara’s Gelateri Caffé Bar & Ristorante Corp. was extablished in July 2013 to introduce real Italian cuisine and products to the Philippines, giving the people an opportunity to feel and taste the real “AUTHENTIC ITALIAN FOOD EXPERIENCE” Our aim is to feature a gelateria and caffé bar which creates a multifunctional space that innovates the taste of the Filipinos when it comes to food and style. A family that connect with the bridge of love the Italian tradition and the typical liveliness of the Filipino people, Chiara’s bridges two distant cultures that together creates a mix of authentic flavors that pleases even the most demanding palates. Passion in the search for raw materials, attention in the combination of taste and love in the composition of the products are what distinguishing characteristics of Chiara’s. Since we have tried a lot of their menus, here are some that we will recommend for you to try: Affogato, Pistacio Coffee, Coffee Gelato and of course their Tiramisu cake.



Highland’s Coffee
Highlands Coffee® was born out of the pure passion for Vietnamese coffee. Originating as a packaged coffee business in Hanoi in 2000, they’ve quickly grown into a chain of well-known coffee shops that have been expanding throughout Vietnam and abroad since 2002.
Over the time they’ve become famous for consistently delivering delicious Vietnamese coffee in a modern and comfortable environment that reflects the appeal of modern Vietnamese life.
Today they continue to hand select the finest beans that are roasted fresh daily and served with a smile. Great Cafe - Great Product - Great Service at an affordable price is the secret of their success! Their coffee menus are amazingly flavorful and their Shredded Chicken and Grilled Pork Bahnmi are our favorites.


Auntie Anne’s
Auntie Anne's, based in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, is an American chain of pretzel shops founded by AnneF. Beiler and her husband, Jonas, in 1988. Auntie Anne's serves products such as pretzels, dips, and beverages. All menus served to us are definitely we can recommend: Pretzel Original that cost P65, Almond Pretzel that cost P80, Milo Stix that cost P95, Almond Cream Cheese Stix that cost P90, Two Cheese Pepperoni that cost P99 and Almond Nuggets that is around P85. Of course our top 1 favorite among them all are the Almond Cream Cheese Stix.


Ersao Restaurant
Ersao is a Taiwanese style cuisine that invades the Philippines to let us try the best menus they can offer. They offer Taiwanese favorites such as dumplings, specialty noodles, spicy snacks, rice toppings and other healthy beverages. They served us some of their bestselling drinks available which are Buko Pandan Shake, Ripe Mango Shake, Pearl Milk Tea, Wintermelon and Taro Milk Tea. We really love the Taro Milk Tea that you can also enjoy to combine with their main menus that promotes Taiwanese Style Cuisine.


Infinitea
Infinitea serves a wide variety of tasty and refreshing authentic pearl milktea drinks for all you fanatics out there. Guaranteed made from 100% freshly brewed loose-leaf teas of high quality for an overall healthier lifestyle. We also serve variety of coffees, Frappes, Fruit Teas and more. To be honest, we are not a fan of Infinitea because our first time to try this restaurant, we are totally disappointed on the milk tea we ordered. But on the second time around, the taste of every drink we had is a much better experience than the previous one. Strawberry Oreo and Taro Milk Tea are some of our recommendations for you to check out.
